Testimonial for Shannon Mathews CD(DONA), CVD (TVL)
Highly recommend Shannon and her team! The doula support they provide is essential for first-time parents.
We worked with Shannon as our birth Doula and Sue as our post-partum doula -- both are wonderful to work with, caring/compassionate, and also a great source of seasoned pregnancy and baby wisdom. They went above and beyond in helping my wife and I navigate the high anxiety of a very difficult pregnancy, providing critical emotional support via phone calls, emails, and texts throughout our (many) doctor and hospital visits.
We ended up delivering a healthy and beautiful baby girl, just a bit early via c-section, so we were able to convert some of our birth doula support into post-partum doula support from Sue. It was seamless and easy. We then got more time with Sue who provided support to us 2-3 days a week for the first few difficult weeks after birth. We don't know how we would have done it without her!
Finally Shannon also provided the post-partum check in, which was a nice complement to Sue's support, since each of them have different styles and areas of emphasis.
